1. Autodesk Acquires Dynamite VSP and Dynamite SIM Visualization Software Products
Products Will Extend Autodesk’s Visualization Solutions for Civil Engineering and Architecture
Projects
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Jan. 5, 2010 — Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) announced that it has
completed the acquisition of Dynamite VSP and Dynamite SIM visualization software products
and related assets. The products were purchased from 3AM Solutions, a UK-based privately
owned technology company that develops visualization software for civil infrastructure. Terms of
the transaction were not disclosed.
Dynamite VSP and Dynamite SIM technology will help Autodesk automate the process of
creating visualizations for projects made with AutoCAD Civil 3D software. Dynamite VSP offers
simple and efficient ways to bring AutoCAD Civil 3D software data into Autodesk 3ds Max Design
software.
“We believe that every design has a story to tell. This acquisition will greatly simplify the process
of visualizing complex AutoCAD Civil 3D projects with 3ds Max Design,” explained Jay Bhatt,
Autodesk senior vice president, Architecture, Engineering and Construction. “It will help civil
engineers tell their story in the most compelling way possible — validating their designs in context
and showcasing projects for public consultation and approval.”
“With Autodesk’s research and development investment capabilities, this acquisition is expected
to benefit our existing users as our technology is taken to the next level,” said Bruce Harfield,
director of 3AM Solutions. “We look forward to working with Autodesk to further integrate the
technology into the company’s existing software and advance Autodesk’s visualization offerings
for civil engineers.”
“This acquisition will help empower users to more rapidly produce high-quality visualizations of
civil engineering projects — even those without detailed knowledge of 3ds Max Design,” added
Bhatt.
Product Integration
Autodesk intends to integrate core technology from the Dynamite VSP and Dynamite SIM
products into 3ds Max Design and other existing Autodesk architecture, civil engineering and
visual communication applications.
